It stands to reason that not too many people would be interested in a private equity fund that suddenly popped up.

But Ian's family background attracted countless curious eyes, and in the first month of its establishment, Ian handed over a 30% return on the answer.

The second generation of the Ian family, that is, his father's generation, has two giants who own boutique investment banks on Wall Street, and Ian's generation also has Wall Street stars.

But no one has ever heard that there is a third generation named Ian in this family.

On Wall Street, gossip spreads at the same rate as financial information.

There has never been a legend about Ian on Wall Street, and the authenticity of Ian's background is a source of speculation.

Many people are speculating whether Ian is anyone's illegitimate son to suddenly advertise his family background without "upbringing".

Wall Street financial analysts are just as comfortable when it comes to analyzing a person's background and gossip.

Ian was soon "doxxed".

It didn't take long for someone to dig up Ian's background, which had been low-key to the dust, including Ian's investment resume at Barclays.

Ian isn't a Wall Street star, and he doesn't have a "god-level" investment with a rate of return that is so high that people can talk about it.

Ian's resume, at first glance, can only be regarded as an ordinary investment banker on Wall Street, and there is no well-known project that can be related to Ian, and there is no myth of financing created by Ian.

But Ian's resume, if you dig deeper, is very different.

In the past five years, Ian has invested in all the projects at Barclays, not a single one has lost money, and none of them have plummeted directly after going public.

Such a resume, even in the best years of Wall Street, is not very common, knowing that investment banking is a high-risk industry that generates high returns.

And the five years that Ian handed over such a resume are the five years when the subprime mortgage crisis almost ruined Wall Street, and it is definitely the worst year for Wall Street.

Those Wall Street stars five years ago have long been outdated, bankrupt, and jumping.

On Wall Street, success and failure are instantaneous.

This down-to-earth resume allowed Ian, the originally low-key rich third generation, to attract many family funds that had nowhere to put in the subprime mortgage crisis after his high-profile appearance again.

Before the subprime mortgage crisis, many investments were looking for windfall profits.

After the reshuffle, of course, there are still people on Wall Street who pursue huge profits, but Ian's down-to-earth investment approach can be more favored by family funds that pursue stable profits.

While most of the group remained on the sidelines about Ian's first private placement, the determined family was quick to act.

Ian only wanted a small market, and when it reached the volume of $300 million, he would not accept new funds.

Ian's trust fund plus his own funds are already close to 200 million, and the first people who came into contact with Ian are very interested in this information.

There are many small private placements in China, and they will also require fund managers to invest their own money, the purpose of which is to reassure investors that investing with other people's money is not the same thing as investing with their own money.

It's just that Ian himself contributed most of the funds, and people who are close to him will know, otherwise, more people will rush to it.

With so much money, Ian can directly start a luxurious retirement life if he chooses to be a restricted partner in another private placement, and Ian chose to set up his own private equity under such a special situation.

…………………………

Private equity funds are not stocks, and can have large and retail investors.

Stocks are large sums of money that can be entered, and bits and pieces of money can also be put in to entertain themselves.

Private equity funds have a threshold for entry.

Moreover, the threshold for private placement is much higher than that of general funds or stocks.

The threshold for Ian's private placement is $10 million.

This threshold means that if you want to hold the fund, then you have to come up with at least $10 million.

This threshold can be more or less, and after reaching this threshold, you can increase it in millions.

Ian's investment methods are very special, many of them are incomprehensible to others, and when he first arrived at Barclays, the investment committee would often veto Ian's case because of the small profit.

But as time passed, Ian's beautiful resume that never missed was there, and his projects passed one by one, and there were fewer and fewer voices opposing and questioning Ian of the Airborne Forces.

In this way, Ian, the VP, has the authority of Barclays, but he is better than ED, and the projects that Ian likes can pass the meeting, and he can make money after the meeting.

If you have good performance, you can definitely hold your head high in the investment bank.

If the performance is good for a year, you can raise your eyebrows for a year, and if the performance has been good, then you can directly "look above the top".

It's a money game, and it's about who can become a closer partner with money.

It's just that a beautiful resume needs careful care, and if there is a flaw in the resume that is "not guaranteed in the evening", it will fall short.

That's why, when he left the company, Ian was extremely interested in the handover of the two unfinished cases he was working on.

Ian had to make sure that even if he was gone, the cases he had handled would not be a loss.

Ian is a very hard worker at Barclays, hardworking, gentlemanly, humble, and kind are Ian's labels, and no one has guessed his background if Ian doesn't say it himself.

Ian only started to be high-profile after leaving Barclays, otherwise, even if Ian's background was rushed, there would be countless people rushing to help him do data analysis, and there would be nothing to do with Qi Yi at all.

…………………………

The golden age of hedge funds is also the golden age of Kuak.

Kuakers can completely ignore the laws of the market, and simply rely on data analysis and supercomputers to make a lot of money.

But this golden age existed only before the subprime mortgage crisis.

Wall Street is reshuffling and hedge funds are losing money.

After Qi Yi became a Kuanke, he quickly figured out how his predecessors made money.

But that way is a thing of the past.

After weighing the pros and cons, Qi also decided to accept Ian's proposal.

Since Ian is willing to take Qi Yi and smash him with three times his current annual salary, he also said that if Qi Yi wants to be the front desk, he will leave a VP position for him in the future.

With such attractive conditions in front of Qi Yi, and the fact that he can learn Ian's investment philosophy, it is impossible for Qi Yi not to have the idea of following Ian after understanding what Ian is going to do.

Qi Yi made up his mind two months ago.

He plans to apply for resignation after going to Melbourne to attend Yan's graduation ceremony.

If it goes well, Qi Yi should have joined Ian's company a month ago.

But after returning from Melbourne, Qi Yi reversed his previous decision and began to hesitate.

Hesitation rarely happens to Qi Yi.

Usually, what others hesitate about, a probability scientist like Qi Yi, as long as he calculates the probability a little, can directly have a result.

But the matter of changing jobs, because it suddenly involved Yan Yun's cousin Yan Ling, became a little different.
